This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

There is also both Mbin and PieFed that are fairly developed.
The problem is being able to migrate existing instances to those, not just having other software available. Current instances can't easily move over at the drop of a hat, for many it would straight up kill them to have to start from scratch. And as far as I'm aware Lemmy Database isn't compatible with either so they'd have to start from scratch on the new software.
Once a Piefed instance is mature enough, I could consider asking a few communities I mod if they would be okay to migrate to it.
!casualconversation@lemm.ee for instance doesn't really need to be able to edit past posts, and we already moved from LW to lemm.ee. Moving again to another instance wouldn't be that different.
Thank you for the explanation.
Although there are existing instances of Mbin and PieFed that I would guess would not have that problem, bc they already have posts in their own respective formats? And any new Lemmy instance I thought would have the same issues - as in even if an older post would federate, the comments and votes that happened prior to that action would not (if I'm reading https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1907501 correctly), plus even existing ones like aussie.zone seem like they can lose content if the backlog of bulk sending of actions does not get cleared within 7 days time.
Still, it's an excellent point about existing instances already running Lemmy not wanting to switch to Mbin or PieFed, but that could perhaps switch to Sublinks.
Though individual users could move, and still keep posting to the same communities as they had been.
